next business move.

MY health is coming back after my last surgery so, I am going to Omaha on the tenth to look at opening a new E SCRAP collection/distribution center there. I will be there for at least two weeks, so, hope to get around to meeting some of you in the area.

I've been trying to do this for over a year but, health keeps getting in the way.

any one with any thoughts on this new center please feel free to chime in. All input is much appreciated.

Good luck with it tho,,,

You should try further south, like Hastings, so it wouldn't be such a long trip for me!

the plan is to have pick up available. Can't go into more details then that here. }<{)>

Wow. That is great! I hope it works out for you.

So what's the word ?

posting headed G'day.

The key to our operation I feel is this:

1. Friendship amongst our guys when they meet several times a week
2. No cost labour
3. Doing their bit for the environment

We are an NFP (not for profit) but I don't think there is any problem with an ewaste "business"
having volunteers to do the dismantling. We provide the meeting/dismantling location, personal
safety gear and heavy tools. They provide the labour and the ruckus. Then every month or so we
have a BBQ some drinks for the guys at no cost to them just to say thanks. Many Old Dudes get
bored sh*tless sitting on the porch in their rocker, and a task like ewaste salvaging is something
they enjoy. Our guys even bring their own tools!

I may have said this before - this model could be duplicated anywhere where there is an aging
population and ewaste is close at hand.

Best of luck in your endeavours.

Cheers.

p.s. If you have not yet discovered this secret - Dismantling by unscrewing etc., is usually far
quicker and safer than smashing.

Not sure how I would feel having guys working for free knowing the value of the ewaste
